Sentricon Systems May Be Your Best Option to Fight Termites

As long as there is a termite queen, there is a termite colony. The sentricon®
system kills the colony and its queen. No queen. No colony. No problem.

Hundreds of thousands — sometimes even millions — of termites
may be in your home right now. Or lurking outside, ready to attack. The
leader of the colony is the Queen. Her workers are tasked with keeping
her fed. Soldiers protect her. Swarming reproductives ensure her legacy
by starting new colonies.Termites never stop feeding. They never stop
seeking new sources of wood. It can be stumps, fallen trees or your home,
which in East Tennessee most homes are built with wood frames, so it’s
just a matter of time before termites find your delicious home.

The reality with termites is that you seldom realize they are present until
the colony has become either so large that damage becomes obvious, or
winged “swarmers” expose the colony’s presence as they
fly out to establish new colonies. Every year, more than 5 million homes
in the United States are damaged by termites. The estimated cost to homeowners
each year is a staggering $5 billion. That’s more than the cost
of tornadoes, fires and earthquakes combined. And termite damage is rarely
covered by homeowners insurance policies.There are a few solutions to
termites, and Preferred Pest now offers
two termite control options: Sentricon Bait Systems or Termidor Perimeter Plus. Both systems have
their advantages, and we are proud to offer both options at Preferred
Pest Termite & Turf. Call us today to see which option is best for
